The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 83 Hinata Gen's Invitation

The next day, the Hyuga clan.

In this closed-door family meeting, the elders of the main clan and the branch clan were all furious, and their eyes were almost turning red with anger.

The Third Hokage did not make a clear statement on this incident, but only mentioned two points repeatedly:
First of all, the peace today is hard-won, and the armistice agreement between Konoha and Kumogakure must be signed, and no one is allowed to break it;

Secondly, it is an indisputable fact that the leader of the Kumogakure delegation was killed by Konoha ninjas, and the village must give Kumogakure an explanation.

Although it was not stated explicitly, the Hyuga clan understood the implicit meaning of the Sandaime's words - life for life, to calm the situation.

The Hyuga clan knew the Sandaime too well, and they even sensed another hidden meaning:
Although the Sandaime attached great importance to the peace talks with Kumogakure, he did not give any instructions to the Hyuga clan. Therefore, if the Hyuga clan really chose to hand over the "murderer", it would be a decision made entirely by their own will and had nothing to do with him...

shame!

This is a shame that the Hyuga family, a thousand-year-old powerful family, has never experienced before.

It would have been fine if they had taken the initiative to attack the Kumogakure delegation, but it was clearly the Kumogakure scum who kidnapped the "princess" of the main family, and they were just forced to fight back!

However, now, "self-defense" has inexplicably turned into "mutual fighting"...

The clan leader, Hyuga Hiashi, sat in the main seat. He looked at the chaotic scene below and finally spoke: "I was impulsive in this matter. I will give an explanation to Kumogakure with my life."

The Hyuga clan is not the Uchiha, and against the Sandaime... they cannot resist.

Unless...some force that has the ability and the desire to confront the village leaders is willing to help them with all their might.

"Ah--"

As soon as Hiashi finished speaking, the clan elder Hinata Gen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly laughed.

"Elder Yuan...what do you think?"

Feeling everyone's gaze, Hinata Gen said coldly: "Hiashi, do you think this is your own business? Don't forget, you are the clan leader! If you are handed over, how will outsiders look at our Hyuga clan in the future? Can we... still hold our heads up high?"

Hinata Hiashi said nothing, and the others also fell silent, not knowing how to respond.

Suddenly, an elder of the clan's eyes lit up: "Hiashi! We can hand Hiashi over to die in his place!"

"No!" Rizu refused without even thinking.

Hizashi... is his twin brother!

"Clan leader, don't forget the mission of the branch family..." the elder of the main family advised: "To die for the main family is the honor of the branch family!"

"That's also——"

With a bang, something outside the door seemed to be kicked over. Everyone in the house looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little boy of four or five years old pulling the door open with force.

“Why did you kill my father?!” the boy cried out loudly, “My father didn’t do anything! You—wuwuwu!”

Hinata Hizashi rushed over in time and covered his child's mouth. The moment he closed the door, he nodded gently to his brother.

Sensing the determination and relief in his brother's eyes, Rizu's heart ached.

After the episode, Hinata Gen shook his head, stood up and prepared to leave, not wanting to waste any more time talking to these cowards.

"Elder Yuan, you——"

"I have an important guest to attend to, so I'll have to excuse myself.

When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and said, "In fact, I was just thinking that if the Fourth Hokage had not sacrificed himself, then the ninjas of Konoha would have probably gone to the front line by now."

Everyone was silent.

"If the Nidaime were still alive, he would have countless ways to deal with Kumogakure, but among these methods, the only thing that does not include...compromise."

"If the Shodaime were still alive, Kumogakure would have come to apologize last night!"

"If..." He scanned the room with an emotionless gaze.

"If it was Uchiha Madara, then the Raikage would come to Konoha in person. He would kneel down in front of the Hokage building to repent and beg Uchiha Madara not to start a massacre and wipe out the Hidden Cloud Village from the map!" "Minamoto, Elder Minamoto, please don't say that. The Sandaime also made great contributions to the village..."

Upon hearing Hyuga Gen's treasonous words, the elder of the main family who had just proposed that Hizashi die in his place was stunned.

"Of course I know! The praises for him in every issue of Flame Fan Weekly have made me sick!"

With a bang, the door was slammed shut.

.........

dong dong dong-

Shiratori opened the door and saw a pretty girl with white eyes.

"Excuse me, who are you?" He felt that the face looked familiar.

"Shiratori, long time no see. I'm Hinata Chinatsu." The girl's voice was gentle and beautiful.

"Oh! Sorry, sorry, you've changed a lot, I didn't recognize you..."

Shiratori looked at the quiet girl in front of him. The girl's image was exactly the same as the "Hinata Cannon" who always liked to pick a fight with him. "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"My grandfather, Hyuga Gen, the head elder of the Hyuga clan, invites you to his home."

Chinatsu was also filled with emotion.

Back then, she had tried to catch up with the white bird, but she had never expected that after so many years, the gap between the two sides in terms of strength and status had become wider and wider, and the other party had become a big shot that even her grandfather had to treat with courtesy...

"Hinata Gen... I mean Elder Gen is your grandfather?" Shiratori really didn't know, "Then the sacrificed Hyuga Takeshi jonin..."

"It's my father."

"Ah...sorry."

"It's ok"

After simple preparations, Shiratori followed Chinatsu to the Hyuga clan.

Along the way, the atmosphere was a little awkward...

Although Shiratori and Chinatsu are classmates and have a certain kind of familiarity with each other (Hinata Chinatsu gets beaten up every now and then), because Shiratori chose to graduate early, the two sides actually only spent a little over a year together.

After so many years, they no longer had any interactions, and one of them didn't even recognize the other at first sight...

"Um..." Bai Niao made small talk and asked knowingly, "Excuse me, what is it that Elder Yuan wants to talk to me about?"

Chinatsu shook her head: "I don't know, I think it's about Brother Hiashi..."

"This is your Hyuga clan's business. It's not good for an outsider like me to get involved... right? Besides, your grandfather and I have some conflicts..."

"Grandpa said something before I left..." Chinatsu turned to look at Shiratori, "Grandpa said that family dignity is above gains and losses, above personal likes and dislikes, above... everything."

Shiratori understood what Hinata Gen meant - as long as you can preserve the dignity of the Hyuga clan, what does it matter if I bow my head and apologize to you?

What's more, what happened back then was just a quarrel at best, not a big deal.

In front of the gate of Hinata Gen's residence.

Shiratori, who was about to step in, was suddenly stopped by Chinatsu.

"White Bird..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Please... help the Hyuga clan, please."

"Don't worry, I will."
